Why Is One Vein In My Breast Sometime Hard And Sometimes Soft?
Thank you,
I am 78 yrs. old, Some time ago I had a bad fall hitting my breast on concrete. Checked for broken ribs, but could not tell before 6 months. I never went back. much later I saw a vein. sometimes it feels hard, sometimes it feels soft. I feel changes all the time. I never went to a doctor. Could there be other problems besides cancer in the breast?

It can be a traumatic fat necrosis which can present as a lump after trauma. Kindly do a best self examination to look for any other hard nodules or lymph nodes in the axilla.
